Atria has reported an African swine fever infection at its Estonian pig farm, the company’s second case after one was detected at another farm in late June 2025.
African swine fever has been confirmed in Finland-based Atria’s fattening pig farm in Põlvamaa, Estonia. The previous infection was detected on another Estonian farm owned by the company at the end of June 2025.
In the first case, the direct costs incurred by Atria after government compensations amounted to approximately EUR 0.4 million. According to the company’s current estimate, the direct financial impact will also be limited this time.
Atria works closely with the local authorities in Estonia and the authorities have confirmed the infection on 13 August, 2025.
The farm undergoes thorough cleaning and disinfection under the guidance of the authorities. Production is expected to continue on the farm normally after a few months, according to the announcement. Atria’s deliveries to retail and Foodservice customers in Estonia will continue with minimal impact.
Atria remarks it will initiate discussions with local authorities about compensation granted by the Estonian state to producers in connection with cases of swine fever.
No meat or meat products are exported from Estonia to Finland or to any other Atria business areas. As a risk management measure Atria highlights it has already restricted all travel to and from Estonia.
Swine fever is not transmitted to humans from pigs or food.
